attention to these close races, and trying to help the candidates that are just for election integrity, meaning that they re gonna respect the results of the election. but this is a growing problem, and it has to be removed, one election at a time. and right now, it seems like unfortunately, people on the wrong side of this issue have a lot of momentum. the times also points out that the false claims about rigged elections and voter fraud have been the basis for several new laws that make it harder to vote. but, at the same time, influential leaders and both parties are still not on board with these restrictions. is there a chance that this voter fraud pushes finally losing scene? well, look, i think we see the pervasiveness in this, just how deeply ingrained this is inside of the republican apparatus, inside a state legislatures. i think you saw last week in the nomination of the gubernatorial candidate on the republican side in pennsylvania.

it s a history that we look back on and reflect on today. it very sad to think about. i was sickened at the time. i m sickened again thinking back on it. i think we have to acknowledge what really happened that day and tell the truth even when it s painful. this truth is damn painful. martha: thanks, gentlemen. dan henninger, guy benson. i point off to a very good editorial in the wall street journal that talks about the pervasiveness of the constitution and the process carried out at the end of that day. and the 31 arrests that have taken place. in the end, eight senators and 39 members voted not to certify. that was nowhere near a majority to change the 2020 election. thank you, gentlemen. good to see you today. listen to president biden nearly one year ago today. our rescue plan will provide emergency funding to keep these essential workers on the job and
